Not even 5 successful lawsuits since 1989.You stupid fucking idiot!!!!!!!!I didn't say the individual sequences are edited. But they are approved or disapproved for release by the command levels of the individual agencies.So in your retarded mind the producers of 'COPS' are going to 'edit' video tapes from the COPS to make the COPs appear to be constantly using "excessive force".
While I don't believe they have a choice if directed it is quite apparent the individual cops have no problem with it. In fact, some of them seem to be quite the ham in their performances.And all those cops are going to agree to do a COPs show?
First, they have about as much choice in the matter as they have in wearing a body camera. They are told there will be a tv crew "riding along" and that's that. And any cop who is either so stupid or so insane, or both, that he needs to carefully measure his behavior deserves what comes of any unwanted revelations.Odd that there are any LEOs willing to put their careers on the line to do the show.
Do you mean like the things you were in the habit of doing?Not only that but do things on video that they could be later sued for.
Necessary is the operative word in this issue. But if you watch COPS you see quite a bit of unnecessary force being used, specifically in the take-down sequences.LEO use whatever force is necessary to 'secure the scene'.
I should mention there are occasional COPS segments in which the individual officers filmed demonstrate exemplary conduct and efficiency. Unfortunately this minority ultimately experiences the consequences of the negative publicity brought about by the actions and behavior of your category.
NO LEO can be "directed" by ANYONE to be on the COPs show. NO ONE!!
The production company and the LE agency asks for LEO volunteers who are willing to appear on the show. The LEOs do not receive ANY money for appearing.
The LE department has 100% full vetting rights. Which they do. They have the Police Union or an incarnation of the Police Union review all the shows BEFORE they go on TV.
NO LE agency is EVER going to show ANY fucking LEO doing ANYTHING which IN ANY WAY could be used in ANY lawsuit EVER! you asshole! You are a fucking little coward pussy cop hater. That means you have been in serious and or habitual contact with LE. If you'd start acting like a man instead of a little punk you'd be better off.
And yes. Had you and I EVER crossed paths because you were committing a crime you would still remember our encounter vividly to this day.
You're fucking lucky. Maybe the next time you are acting like a fucking asshole punk the LEO won't have his body cam on. We can only hope.
You are exactly right. The department approves it. And each officer must volunteer and consent to be on TV.
And...the departments also must approve of the episode being aired AFTER its filmed due to investigations and crime scenes being recorded. So....if something looks wrong....they won't approve it.
It be surprised if there's more than 5 lawsuits from something regarding force seen on COPS that were successful.
Our resident little cop hater punk is just another fucking loser.
No one who is innocent ever has anything to fear from LEOs. No one.
